Art Tower Mito (ATM), symbolized by the 100-meter-tall metal tower that stands in its plaza, is a comprehensive cultural facility divided into three sections: a concert hall, a theater, and a gallery for contemporary art. Having opened in 1990 to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Mito's designation as an official city, the ATM complex has served as the venue for a wide variety of planned events, including musical concerts, dramatic productions, and art exhibitions featuring both Japanese and foreign artists. In addition, it has broadened the scope of its mission to act as a base for locally-produced cultural activities. In the future, ATM will continue to be a locus of creative activities, transmitting artistic culture from Mito to the rest of the world.Take a look at our Mito trip itinerary site to schedule your visit to Art Tower Mito and learn about what else to see and do during your holiday.

3月14日に訪問 以前から気になっていたアートタワーに行ってきました。 まず入り口に行くまでが分かりづらいです。 特別に案内標識などがないので上の階に行ってしまったり 地下通路に行ってしまったりと散々です。 やっとの思いで着いたところでチケット200円なりで購入。 バスの1日チケットでの割引は芸術館のみで使えませんでした。 ノロノロ上がるエレベーターで着いた展望階は恐ろしく狭いです。 しかも殺風景... more »
I went to the art 3/14 was supposed to like ago visit. First of all go to the entrance to it is hard to understand. Special signs, such as not on the floor, or go to the underground passage and is doom and gloom. I just barely got in and the ticket 200 yen purchase. Bus one-day discount tickets cannot be used only in the Museum of art. Horribly views arrived at slowly lift the narrow. And dull. Is the analogy of the boiler room like space. No place to sit. Than say seating platform. Was far from alone in some places where vision of 20 centimeters in diameter round window is hard to see and enjoy the panoramic view. I don't think want to come again, and not long of course. Look more interesting, but the tower was. It was a tower I cannot understand who made it made going to say. I do not at all worth 200 yen.View original -

18年ぶりに訪れました。 タワーに単身乗り込んだのですが、エレベーターで頂上までゆっくり上がるので、 相当高い所に行くのが実感できました。 頂上の景色は良かったのですが、今現在自分が単身でこんな高い所にいるのかと 考えてしまうと、恥ずかしながら腰を抜かしてしまいました。 帰りのエレベーターで、早く地上に戻して!と必死に願いました。 でも、ぜひとも水戸観光では落とせないスポットです。高所恐怖症でなけ... more »
Visited 18 Buri. Understand going so slowly up top in the elevator Tower boarded alone is quite high. I believe and have good views at the top, but now his alone so high, I'm ashamed I left out the waist. In an elevator on the way back, back to Earth soon! And desperately hoped. But the badly fluffed by Mito tourist spot. If you are not a fear of heights, try from the top of the tower.View original

The art tower and grounds is a very pleasant space. It was affected by the 2011 earthquake so its best to check the official website for up-to-date information.

From Mito station 20 minutes. Cultural complex composed of three Concert Hall in the center of the theater, contemporary art gallery, private space. About 20 years ago, to feel like once a year. Even though can't go, contemporary art gallery, art Tower Mito alone went to the theatre and concert hall. Playing the pipe organ in the entrance hall is a musical experience came in the theater's none at all. Contemporary art gallery featuring the street exhibition's contemporary art, artist of the season that it. No choice on the Joban line to Mito and the Biennale of the 2015 recently and was surprised when I saw Jeff Wall exhibition in 1997 or 1999 exhibition of Ilya Kabakov, Nomura Hitoshi exhibition around the year 2000 and. It's not going to visit once a year.View original
